Officials for the day
We're pleased to confirm 2018 EVA Referee of the Year, Ian Cheesbrough as our head referee for the day. Krzysztof Dabrowski (Red Eagles) and Fiona Wilson (WHVC) will be assisting.

Everybody helps out for the juniors.
Please note some of the HVA rules that are based on the date of the finals:
- D5. All leagues fixtures must be completed 10 days before the KO Cup final. Any match not completed before that deadline will be declared null and void. So before 9th May.
- F6. All scoresheets must be presented at least 3 days before the KO Cup Final, else the home team forfeits the match. So before 16th May.
We changed the deadline for the KO semi-finals (by request) to 5th May because of fixture congestion.
